Who this guide is for

Afghan families newly arrived in Australia who want clear, respectful guidance on home loan eligibility — including those still building Australian income history.

  • Afghan PR holders within first 2 years in Australia
  • Afghan families on humanitarian visas (200/201/202/203/204)
  • Afghan skilled visa holders (482, 491) building Australian income
  • Afghan Muslim families wanting to plan ahead for halal home finance

The real challenge

Newly-arrived Afghan migrants face significant barriers — the chicken-and-egg of needing Australian income history, language gaps, and unfamiliarity with the Australian lending system. Many recent Afghan arrivals are humanitarian visa holders, which has different lending implications than skilled migration.

Most general brokers don't understand these pathways or speak Dari.

Frequently asked questions

We use offer letters and vesting schedules to value RSUs conservatively. We present current vesting value + projected future vesting as a 3-5 year income average. This gives lenders confidence in your income stability while accounting for market volatility.
Both. We work with W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and consultants. For contractors, we use 2 years of tax returns plus business financials. We have lenders who specialise in contractor income—they understand the variability.
Unvested options have zero value for refinancing. We count only vested equity. If you have a 4-year vest, we use 25% of the grant value (what's vested) plus a conservative projection of future vesting.
If you've been in your new role 6+ months, most lenders will refinance. We'll use your offer letter plus 6 months of pay stubs. If less than 6 months, it's harder but possible with specialist lenders.
Yes, if you have 2+ years of bonus history. We average the past 2 years and present it conservatively. Some bonuses get counted at 50% to be conservative with variable compensation.
ESPP is counted as deferred compensation. If your company matches or you have a discount, we value it as part of total compensation package.
